Live Events Group – Julian Wharam

Hi, my name is Julian Wharam and I love hosting events to help give a crowd a great time. I decided by the tender age of 12 that I wanted to be a DJ and radio presenter (despite the advice of my teachers to “get a proper job”!) and I made sure that I did all I could to make those dreams come true.

Live performance has always been in my blood and it has been a real pleasure to DJ at some of the most successful radio stations in the UK, including Cardiff (where I worked with Simon Ross), Leeds (where I worked with Simon Clarke), Birmingham, Newcastle and Manchester.

A real perk of the job is getting to interview and dine out with some of the biggest music and Hollywood stars around. Whether sharing a cigar with Tom Jones, partying at a Kylie album launch, interviewing Wet Wet Wet or shooting pool with Blur, it is always an absolute thrill. Hosting ‘Party in the Park’ in Leeds or the ‘Welsh Awards’ in Cardiff in front of huge crowds is a definite highlight!

I never would have predicted that by the age of 30 I would also be a high school teacher, a teacher-trainer and an event host; I find that these roles are remarkably similar to being a DJ in so many ways!!!

Away from work you would find me being a proud Husband, parent and step-parent, out enjoying the spectacular Worcestershire countryside (and its welcoming bars and pubs!) Cheers!
